“Be The Best Partner In The Port”

July 2015

Newport News Shipbuilding has a yearly award entitled the Model of Excellence (MOE). CMSD has

once again been nominated for the MOE award. This time the nomination is for the Paint Abatement

Box. This is one of four nominations that were selected within the In-Service Aircraft Carrier Division:

Innovation and Technology category. This category recognizes outstanding engineering or technology

innovation that significantly increases NNS’s growth, profitability and/or competitive advantage. In the

words of Chris Miner, Vice President of the In-Service Aircraft Carrier Division, “this project clearly

reflects innovation by physically removing employees from the hazardous atmosphere, reducing waste

and abatement time, and minimizing production shut downs.”

The team which consisted of Moshe Krafchow and Dewey Youngerman developed a small, portable,

negative pressure containment designed to remove employees from the hazardous atmosphere created

by paint abatement. The Paint Abatement Box is an innovative improvement recognizing a combined

opportunity to ensure employee safety, reduce cost and maintain schedule. It is very portable and can

be used on any platform. They did some research and testing which have confirmed the systems

consistently performs as planned.

Please congratulate the team. The announcement of the winners is set for later this month. The Award

ceremony will take place in September in Newport News.

Being responsible stewards of the environment is an important obligation. Continental Maritime

of San Diego (CMSD) is committed to protecting the environment by how we do business. San Diego

EarthWorks recognized CMSD with the prestigious E.A.R.T.H. (Environmental Action and Restoration

That Helps) Award for monitoring all and any marine pollution. EarthWorks, a non-profit corporation,

is dedicated to a clean, healthy, sustainable future. They recognize that CMSD is ahead of the game

when it comes to becoming a “zero discharge” facility. There is a corporate commitment to be a “zero

discharge” facility operating under a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit. CMSD

has been working diligently since the 1990’s to eliminate all point source discharges.

Often it’s challenging for Shipbuilding and repair facilities to eradicate waste discharge, including

storm water, from going into the San Diego Bay. However, in 2004 the San Diego Regional Water

Control Board confirmed that all point source discharges had been eliminated making CMSD the

nation’s first “Zero Discharge” shipyard. The most significant benefit is the elimination of copper

loading to the San Diego Bay. This new configuration also provides an annualized energy savings of

approximately $90,000.00. In 2010 CMSD began monitoring all facility wide electrical incandescent

and mercury vapor lighting usage. In 2012, CMSD upgraded the exterior lighting to induction lighting

with a 59% reduction in power usage and a corporate saving of $18,822.00 annually.

This beautiful globe will be on display in Russ McCarthy’s,

April McGinley’s and Chris Miner’s offices.

“One of the first things I noticed when I was given the

privilege to work with you and the CMSD team is your

continuous focus on environmental stewardship. The

CMSD team has not just reacted to requirements you

have proactively set the high standard for all the

shipyards in the harbor. You and the team’s hard work

earned this award and so I was very pleasantly

surprised when Lynne brought it into my office on

Friday. It’s a very attractive award and is now proudly

displayed in a prominent spot in my office. Please pass

on my congratulations to the entire CMSD team for

receiving this award as well as my thanks for all they do

every day.”

Steve,

Just a quick note from the 25% Conference…your team has made the CO push the “I believe button”

on the MKI LOS Piping job. He is very impressed with the process flow, quality, etc. Please thank

your team & keep up the great work!

-(email written to Steve Senk) from Steve Severs, Program Manager

KUDOS ON MAKIN ISLAND

Volunteering for a good cause is a gift. Ana Maria Hardel has been doing volunteer work at an

elementary school in the metro San Diego area since August of 2012. Every Friday of the School Year

she visits the kids in the K-1 classroom to help them with the various tasks the rambunctious 4 and 5

year olds are being taught, i.e. drawing, singing, doing arts and crafts, reading, etc. Ana Maria’s greatest

joy comes when the Teacher sends a kid to be consoled for a minor booboo or for those challenging

separation issues these kids have

to face, as for most of them this is

the first time they break away from

home.

Ana Maria does not have kids of

her own, she says this opportunity

comes to her as one of the greatest

rewards in her life as she shares

the joy and sorrows these kids go

through. “Each and every one of

them are very special to me” she

says, “I am glad I have the chance

to encourage them to be the best

they can every time I see them, in

turn their little smiles and/or tears

leave a mark in my heart that is

second to none.”

Here is a photo of Ana with a “Thank you” card from the kids and teacher that she helped out this school

year.

Thank you Ana for sharing your work in the community with us.

Meet Teodoro “Ted” Deguzman. Ted

started at CMSD in 2007 as one of our

Buyers. As a Buyer, he is responsible for

estimating and procuring material and

services that are required to complete a

job. An achievement that Ted is proud of

is that he “researched hard to find

materials in support of a Production

schedule, that saved the company time and

money.”

Prior to CMSD, Ted served over 22 years

in the Navy and left as a Chief Logistician. He also worked for Bay Shore Enterprise as a Purchasing

Manager and at Acclaim Electronics as a Product Manager. Ted’s career goal is to promote within

CMSD, particularly in Contracts and Material Support.

Ted tells us that his family would describe him as the “quiet type but friendly and easy going.” He hopes

his peers see him as “a team player who is disciplined and well organized in his work habit.” Ted has

this advice for his peers, “Do not get discouraged. Push through the frustration because there is a light

at the end of the tunnel, even if you may not see it at first.” The most influential person in Ted’s life is

his father. His father “inspired him to do good things and treat people with respect.”

Ted’s manager, Liza Tejeda tells us that Ted has gone the extra mile by “working extra hours to meet

deadlines.” When asked to describe Ted in three (3) words Liza said, “Organized, Quality and

Dependable.” Out of the six (6) company values, Liza feels Ted best represents “Performance.”

Liza thinks Ted’s biggest asset to the company is “his consistency and dependability.” She believes Ted

demonstrates leadership “by being consistent, dependable, and going the extra-mile to ensure his work

is accurate and accomplished by requested deadlines.” Liza tells us, “Ted is an exemplary employee.”

Ted is a loving husband and wonderful father. When not at work Ted likes to run and ride his bike. His

favorite sports team is the San Diego Chargers. Ted enjoys watching movies. When he retires Ted plans

to travel and most definitely enjoy his retirement.”

Way to go Ted! Keep up the awesome work.

Meet the Material Support Department (0330). There are 10 employees in this small but mighty

department. This department manages all estimating, procurement, purchasing orders, shipping and

receiving, and sourcing all in an expedited manner. According to manager, Liza Tejeda, she defines her

department saying, “They are team players. They help each other to ensure stringent deadlines are met.”

Liza would describe and define her department’s attributes as having the following: 1) “Integrity: they

practice ethical business with suppliers; 2) Performance: they are consistent and meet deadlines; and,

3) Joyfulness: they laugh a lot.” If you need to come and visit this department you can usually hear

them from down the hall. Liza adds, “They enjoy their job and the people they work with.” During the

last 12 months the purchasing system was approved by SWRMC and extended another year. This is due

to a lot of hard work.

Keep up the good work, Material Support Department, our hard hats are off to you!

Who doesn’t know Israel Novak? Izzy is a

Jr. Staff Accountant in our Accounting

Department since 2009. He is known by

so many and creates an environment that

allows anyone to ask questions. He

reviews and posts all AP transactions and

reviews all expense reports. He prepares

various account reconciliations and

updates the intercompany transactions

schedules. He always is busy but always

has time to help.

When Fernando Flores, Israel’s manager,

was asked about how Israel has made a

difference he responded, “His ability to take on various projects and tasks make him a key asset to the

accounting department.” Izzy takes ownership and pride in what he does. He says about his work, “I like

what I do and definitely enjoy it. I really can’t tell you details, but, there have been moments that I am

proud and I know I have done a good job because I have been told from my boss, co-workers and other

people in the organization and that matters a lot to me.” Fernando confirms adding that he would

describe him as “diligent, responsible, and dependable”.

Izzy talks about his life outside of work, “During the week I honestly don’t do much. It is work and after

work maybe a run, boot camp class or TRX class or simply TV (baseball game/Big Bang Theory/Law

and Order)…weekends are a little better and different, it’s about eating out, friends, and family. If I plan

ahead, road trips, and long trips are in my things to do.” He is originally from Ensenada, Baja

California, Mexico. His goal after he finished at the University was to move to San Diego in 2001 and

he’s been here ever since.

Keep up the good work, Izzy, it

hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Cyber Security – A Good Habit to acquire

Starting this month, we want to reach the following two goals with 100% compliance within the CMSD

network –

Lock up your workstation when you leave your work area.

Log off your workstation when you leave for the day.

Using the seat belt analogy, almost all drivers do not have to think, they automatically buckle up before

they start the car engine. This is because it is a habit ingrained in the drivers. We would like you to

attain this habit for the workstation locking. Please take these simple steps to ensure our cyber

security. Ask your coworkers to follow through if you see non-compliance. It is the right thing to do

and it is mandatory thing to do.

You can lock up your workstation one of two ways.

Press the following keys on your keyboard at the same time: Ctrl, Alt & Delete. Then hit the

“Enter” key.

Press the “Windows Logo” key and the “L” key at the same time.

A WORD FROM IT

On Thursday, June 25, 2015, we had to say goodbye to one of our

own, Ricardo “Rico” Macias. Rico dedicated over 25 years of his life

to restoring U.S. naval vessels between his careers here at CMSD and

at NASSCO. At CMSD, he was recognized for his accomplished

welding skills; many times stating he was the best in San Diego.

Toward the end of his career, he continued to work seven days a

week and even trained other young welders after work in classes as

an instructor in the CMSD Weld School.

Rico was survived by his second wife, Laura Macias, his children

Abel, Edward, Margarita, Laura, his grandchildren Edward Jr., Ariel,

Evette, his stepchildren Maria, Andrea, Sugey and his siblings

Martha, Laura, Anabel, Andrea, Gina and Freddie. He passed away

in the presence of his beloved family in Tijuana, Baja California.

Rico will be greatly missed.

NEWS YOU CAN USE SHOE PROGRAMS AT CMSD

CMSD has agreements with three shoe vendors for discounts and payroll deductions. They are Boot

World, Red Wing and Industrial Shoe Company. CMSD employees receive a 10% discount at these

three boot stores.

Boot World is the only store that brings their truck to CMSD. When they are here, they will be located

in the North Parking lot by the time clock. At that point, you can either pay for your shoes then or have

them payroll deducted.

If you want to go to the store and still have them payroll deducted, then you will need to pick up a

“Payroll Deduction” form and take it to April McGinley in EH&S for approval. You can then take the

form to either Boot World, Red Wing or Industrial Shoe Company to purchase your boots. Once you

have gotten your boots, you will need to return the “Payroll Deduction” form to April as soon as possi-

ble.

We would also like to introduce to you another shoe store where you can buy work boots. They are

“Steel-Toe-Shoes.com”. That is right; they are an online store only. You CANNOT do payroll deduction with “Steel-Toe-Shoes.com”, but we do have a $10.00 off Loyalty Card for you. The card has an unlim-

ited use. There is a minimum order requirement of $50.00 and the loyalty card CANNOT be combined with any other promotions. If you are interested in getting a “Loyalty Card” then see Ellen Humpherys

in the Training and Communications office. Only one (1) card per employee. There is free UPS ship-

ping on Continental U.S. orders and no sales tax except for in Wisconsin.

If you have any questions about any of the shoe programs, please contact April McGinley in EH&S.

CMSD will be celebrating Ethics Awareness Week,

August 17th through August 21st.

Our Values Friday Campaign will run the entire month of August.

New Value Friday T-Shirts and a new Ethics coin to be awarded.

Catch of the Month: Medical

Early in June a sub-contract employee working for a different Prime was trying to cut a piece of

material to fit the task at hand. During the process the cutting blade slipped off of the material to

puncture his left forearm. The Contractor notified the ship’s quarterdeck and called CMSD Security.

Security Officer Rafael Guerrero then notified Trevor Jones, who among other duties is our resident

EMT and Medical Clinic back-up. As Mr. Jones arrived at the gate, the contractor was going through a

quick Security scan and planned on going back to their yard in a golf cart and then on to a local clinic for

care. Mr. Jones asked for a brief moment to assess the wound. When the employee simply uncovered it

he noted blood actively pumping out. It was clear to Mr. Jones the patient required advanced medical

care since the bleeding could barely be slowed and definitely not controlled at the scene.

Knowing the situation was critical and ‘cart to truck to clinic’ travel time would delay emergent care

Mr. Jones had Security Officer Guerrero call 911. San Diego City Fire arrived within minutes and began

treatment. San Diego City fire could not control the bleeding and applied a tourniquet to the patient’s

upper left forearm. When the sub-contractor again requested to go to the local clinic, the emergency

services team stated the situation was too critical for a clinic and provided ambulance transport to the

Mercy Hospital Emergency Room. The emergency room worked on the patient to learn they could not

control the bleeding and had him transported to the University of California San Diego Hospital’s Level

1 Trauma Unit. Surgical repair of the left radial artery was successfully performed. Our last update was

that the patient is in good condition.

Lessons Learned/Highlights:

Our Emergency Action Plan works and there is proven value in defining clear lines of

communication during the teaming Arrival Conference (at the beginning of each ship availability);

Contractor to Ship to Security to Medical communication hardware is working well;

Security and Safety/Medical are engaged in the day to day activities;

A timely call, simple question and 10 second risk assessment can save a life.

Voluntary Protection Program and ISO 14001Voluntary Protection Program and ISO 14001 What is VPP? VPP stands for voluntary Protection Program. The program began in

California in 1979 and was formally announced in 1982. VPP is a

program of the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety &

Health Administration, or OSHA, for companies that implement safety

and health measures that keep them below the Bureau of Labor Statistics rates. VPP provides all people

a healthy and safe place of employment by stimulating, employers and employees to institute new and

to perfect existing programs for providing safe and healthful working conditions. VPP recognizes

worksites that have achieved and are maintaining excellence in worker safety and health protection

through cooperation among government. As a result, the average VPP worksite has a lost workday

incidence rate at least 50 percent below the average of its industry. OSHA removes participants from

programmed inspection lists.

ISO 14001 ISO 14001 sets out the criteria for an environmental management system

and can be certified to. It does not state requirements for environmental

performance, but maps out a framework that a company or organization

can follow to set up an effective environmental management system. It

can be used by any organization regardless of its activity or sector. Using

ISO 14001 can provide assurance to company management and

employees as well as external stakeholders that environmental impact is

being measured and improved.

Below is the policy we use at CMSD to help maintain our environment. At CMSD we achieve this

through our Environmental Management System (EMS) to ensure we are continuously improving our

efforts to reduce our impact on the environment.

Work Compliance Plans (WCP) were implemented to ensure periodic reviews and compliance with

Huntington Ingalls Industries (Corporate) business practices, policies and internal controls. The WCP’s

provide reasonable steps to communicate the Company’s standards and procedures in a practical

manner. Each work plan outlines the responsibilities, and includes a risk assessment and communication

plan to facilitate timely discovery of improper conduct.

There are a total of 38 Core Elements of the Work Compliance Plans. In the upcoming newsletters,

Business Management will be providing employees with a summary of the procedures that comply with

each of the required core elements.

Theft of Government Property

CMSD Procedures: SECP-008 Security Officer Responsibility and SQMS QP-7.5.4 Government Property

Control Manual

Assigned Responsibility/At-risk: Security and Material Support

Summary

It is CMSD’s policy to comply strictly with its obligations to use properly and to protect from loss through

theft of Government property that is entrusted to CMSD’s care in the performance of its contracts with

the Government. This includes not only the duty to protect property furnished by the Government but

also property that CMSD acquires for the performance of its contracts when title to such property vests in

the Government.

Responsibilities and Risk Assessment

In line with this policy, CMSD employees shall:

use Government property, either furnished or acquired under a government contract, only for

performing the contract pursuant to which it was furnished or acquired, unless approved by the

Contracting Officer;

not modify or alter Government property unless such modification or alterations are: (i)

reasonable and necessary due to the scope of work under a contract or its terms and conditions;

(ii) required for normal maintenance; or (iii) otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer;

comply with all CMSD policies and procedures with respect to the control and protection of

Government property.

CMSD has a material management system in place to ensure control, protect, preservation, and

maintenance of all Government Property in CMSD’s possession or control, including property in the

control of subcontractors.

Communication Plan

Any person or entity who “Embezzles, steals . . . or knowingly converts for personal use . . . any record,

voucher, money, or thing of value to the United States” is guilty of a federal crime. Any person or entity

that violates this criminal statute can be fined and sentenced to anywhere from one to ten years in prison,

depending on the value of the item stolen.

Theft of company or government property or the property of others and fraud will not be tolerated. False

representation, whether by word, conduct or concealment will also not be condoned. When you steal or

commit fraud, it damages our reputation and brand and hurts us all. Any employee who engages in or

assists others with theft or fraud will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination

and can be subject to prosecution. Employees are encouraged to contact Human Resources or the

Security Department if they witness or know of any suspicious activity.

FORCE PROTECTION LEVELS & MEANINGS

Recently security conditions were raised to BRAVO at U. S. military bases. The five-tier threat level system used by the Department of Defense is called a Force Protection Condition, or FPCON, indicating the level of security concern within the United States. All employees should familiarize them-selves with the below information derived from military websites.

NORMAL -- General threat of possible terrorist activity; routine security posture.

ALPHA -- General threat of possible terrorist activity; extent unpredictable. BRAVO -- Increased and more predictable threat of terrorist activity; higher

security may be needed for weeks. CHARLIE -- Incident has occurred or terrorist action is imminent;

implementing the higher security measures needed for this category for more than a short period will create hardship and affect the peacetime activities of the unit and its people.

DELTA -- Applies to the immediate area where a terrorist attack has occurred or when intelligence has been received that terrorist action against a specific location or person is likely; normally a localized condition.

When security posture is increased and heightened awareness is directed at U. S. military facilities, you should expect heavier traffic and prepare accordingly. Below lists a few other things you should be prepared for.

100% I.D. checks at all gates at all times.

North gate has limited hours of operation.

Random stops and searches at gates.

Increased roving patrols in yard perimeter.

With the increased security Identification Badges are important; here is a tip of what not to do… Security badges are meant to prove identity and access privileges at work. They should never be worn outside of the facility / in public when going to lunch, a store, or even walking outside. Exposing your badge in public permits identity thieves to see your name, place of work, and possibly your level of security clearance. The worst part is, now the public knows what your badge looks like, thereby increasing the chances of successful forgery. When leaving work, always remove your badge and put it away.

“Hey, I know who you are and where you work! It says so right there on your badge”.

What You Need To Know About Multifaceted Social Engineering Attacks Social engineering is a non-technical method of intrusion, used by hackers, that relies heavily on human interaction. It involves tricking people to unintentionally perform actions that do not comply with normal security procedures, to disclose sensitive information. Examples include hackers sending emails or making phone calls, which appear to be legitimate, and requesting the recipient open an infected attachment, click a malicious link, or provide sensitive information. Social engineering attacks not only serve as a costly threat but have become even more dangerous due to their complexity. Today’s attacks combine a number of different social engineering mechanisms for a much greater chance of success. How exactly is a multifaceted social engineering attack executed? One method occurs when attackers email rogue invoices or other attachments loaded with malware programs. The malware allows the attacker to steal access credentials, enough sensitive information to conduct a perimeter break in, or transfer funds out of the organization by abusing the accounting system. To ensure their attachments are downloaded or the bogus invoice is opened, the attackers follow up with a phone call, usually within a minute of when the email is sent. The caller impersonates an authority figure and requests immediate action. This results in a high-pressure situation in which workers, even though they know better, feel obligated to comply with the request. Thieves and spies have ramped up their efforts to compromise sensitive information, and all employees must be on guard. Remember to let IT know of any suspicious emails or call Security at Ext. 215 or Ext. 217. Information retrieved from: ©2015 National Security Institute

Everything you want to know about Gum Disease

What is Gum Disease? Gum disease is an inflammation of the gums that can progress to affect the bone that surrounds and supports your teeth. It is caused by the bacteria in plaque, a sticky, colorless film that constantly forms on your teeth. If not removed through daily brushing and flossing, plaque can build up and the bacteria infect not only your gums and teeth, but eventually the gum tissue and bone that support the teeth. This can cause them to become loose, fall out or have to be removed by a dentist.

There are three stages of gum disease: Gingivitis: this is the earliest stage of gum disease, an inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup at the gum line. If daily brushing and flossing do not remove the plaque, it produces toxins that can irritate the gum tissue, causing gingivitis. You may notice some bleeding during brushing and flossing. At this early stage in gum disease, damage can be reversed, since the bone and connective tissue that hold the teeth in place are not yet affected.

Periodontitis: at this stage, the supporting bone and fibers that hold your teeth in place are irreversibly damaged. Your gums may begin to form a pocket below the gum line, which traps food and plaque. Proper dental treatment and improved home care can usually help prevent further damage.

Advanced Periodontitis: in this final stage of gum disease, the fibers and bone supporting your teeth are destroyed, which can cause your teeth to shift or loosen. This can affect your bite and, if aggressive treatment can't save them, teeth may need to be removed.

How do I Know if I Have Gum Disease? Gum disease can occur at any age, but it is most common among adults. If detected in its early stages, gum disease can be reversed so see your dentist if you notice any of the following symptoms:

Gums that are red, puffy or swollen, or tender

Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing

Teeth that look longer because your gums have receded

Gums that have separated, or pulled away, from your teeth, creating a pocket

Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite

Pus coming from between your teeth and gums

Constant bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth

How is Gum Disease Treated? The early stages of gum disease can often be reversed with proper brushing and flossing. Good

oral health will help keep plaque from building up.

A professional cleaning by your dentist or hygienist is the only way to remove plaque that has built up and hardened into tartar. Your dentist or hygienist will clean or "scale" your teeth to remove the tartar above and below the gum line.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that gingivitis is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and lung disease. It also increases the risk of a woman giving birth to a premature or low birth weight infant.

NEWS FROM THE NURSE

The 3 main stages of gum disease:

STAGE 1 Gingivitis: This stage is easier to treat because it only affects the gums. Left untreated,

gingivitis can lead to a more serious condition known as periodontitis.

STAGE 2 Periodontitis: Periodontitis is a cascade of problems that can occur when gingivitis is left

untreated. Several factors work together to cause gum disease to worsen, and could lead to surgery.

Stage 3 Advanced Periodontitis: Bacteria continue to cause chronic infection leading to deeper

pockets to form between tooth and gum. This can cause destruction of bone support and disease

progression.

Don’t neglect those gums. See a dentist at least

twice a year!
